Spring 2008: Exciting News for the 2008 Season! Billy Allen, who is the #1 National Track builder for the ABA is coming to Chehalem Valley BMX to rebuild our track! After he completes the National track for the Great Northwest National he is heading over to our track! His design (the paved corners are staying) will finally help us get rid of the puddles that always form with just a little rain and should make this season of racing pretty exciting with a new track!
ABA-Suzuki had a track promotion contest for the2007 Season Chehalem Valley BMX submitted our Race for Life and Bicycle Safety Fair for the contest last year and out of all the tracks on the West Coast we took 2nd place! Actually it gets more exciting, the top two awards went to Oregon tracks! Congrats to Smith Rock BMX for winning the contest and have fun with your new Suzuki Quad! We are receiving 100 sets of trophies for the 2008 season for our 2nd place win!
